    Watch David Burns Beekeeping on YouTube. He addresses monthly bee development. Watch videos before you get two Nucs in the spring, so you know what you’re doing. Bees are expensive at first. Knowledge will help you make wise spending decisions. The girls do the work. The drones (males) just mate with the queen. As far as I know. The girls kick the drones out of the hive in the winter because they are extra mouthes to feed. I bought books on bees but learned quicker from videos. Ditto on the other bee YouTubers that have been recommended. I’d recommend an Ultrabreeze bee suit.
